Due to present eligibility to medicare, finding a drug plan to cover oxycontin is a real problem. The amount does not appear to be the problem but the brand\type is. Any idea what I could switch to ? Currently take four 60mg per day along with oxy IR 20mg for those sudden pain spikes.

There is no generic for Oxycontin, which could be why they don't want to cover it.
However, there are other options that are available as generics, such as MS Contin, Opana ER, Zohydro, and Fentanyl.
The FDA warns that all of these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.
Those are just a couple of the options you could ask your doctor about trying.
Does anyone else have any suggestions to add?
